Just completed LitReactor's Self-Publishing in the Digital Age - June 2012, by Joe Nassise, and I think I passed. I cannot say enough about the class or Joe's interaction with students. This is my first, and could be my only, but damn if I didn't enjoy the ride.

That is a fine cover. I may give that a go. And I never buy any books written after 1920!

Dwayne, I uploaded it to Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Kobo. Those where the three main platforms we worked with in class. 

I've sold 31 in five days. I'm making BANK :)

That's cool, if you stay steady it's $3373 a year. Do that 10 times and it's a job.

How are you getting so many reviews?

Dwayne, not a clue. Well actaully I know how I got the one star review. I banned someone from another message board that i'm a mod on and that was his revenge. 

As for doing that for a year, I think I've shot my load unless I can come up with a magic marketing plan.

There are a shit ton of book review blogs. If you can get some of them folks to review your book, that can help quite a bit (if they like it, of course). More than one (maybe two or three-and-a-half) writers launched a career by getting popular book review blogs to give them a review, which happened to be positive.

I have to ask, why 38?

When I was a young boy coming of age on the boardwalks of Wildwood, NJ, a fortune teller once conned me out of my hard earned pay. I ran the water pistol Pimlico Downs game and that particular Thursday was payday. 

Madame Marie promised the world but only delivered a cryptic reference to the number 38. Was I to die at 38? Get married at 38? Get a job with the State Liquor Board making 38 dollars an hour? Find my true calling from watching American Pickers, episode 38? 

 

Long story short? My favorite number is 23; but my fingers came down on 38 by mistake.  :)

Kah - two questions.

1. When you publish your novel on AMZN, B&N and Kobo are there restrictions that prohibit you from striking a publishing deal with a tranditional print publisher for the same novel? If no, great. If yes, what are the restrictions, and are they perpetual or for a specific time period?

2. When I click on the link above (www.kahscrap.com) I get routed to a series of garbage sites that have nothing to do with your book. Happens also, when I open a new browser window and type in the URL. Have others mentioned this? If not, the problem may be on my end. Maybe I've picked up some adware hijack crap. FYI: all other websites, including ones that I've never visited before, are working fine.

Lemme know if any questions about #2. Look forward to your answers to #1.

Thanks!
